As of Thursday, August 12th, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is temporarily extending the period for Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record! They have temporarily extended the validity of this form from two years to four years.
USCIS may consider a completed Form I-693 as valid if:
- The civil surgeon’s signature is dated no more than 60 days before the applicant filed Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status;
- No more than four years have passed since the date of the civil surgeon’s signature; and
- A decision on the applicant’s Form I-485 is issued on or before Sept. 30, 2021.
The USCIS are making this temporary change because of the processing delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
